Why it never ends

"...You are simply insulting me!"

"Then you'd better accept this insult," Yu Xuekun said calmly, "Your report clearly records how you and he got into action as soon as they didn't agree with each other. If you weren't flirting, , then you are using violence against an ordinary person in a livable place."

Hesta sneered, "What do you mean, if I'm in a relationship with him, I can hit him, right?"

"As long as you don't go too far, considering the recent trend of the 14th district government encouraging mercury needles to start a family..." Yu Xuekun did not continue. The corners of her mouth sank slightly and she lightly shrugged, "Uh-huh."

"Encourage mercury needles to start a family?"

"Yes, the calculation above is that after the age of twenty-five, you can retire and have children. Anyway, there is no clear conclusion that the ability of mercury needles will not be inherited." Yu Xuekun smiled, "If you come to fourteen Ou started to fall in love immediately, and it is estimated that next month he will be invited to share his advanced experience. After all, there are too few mercury needles that are willing to enter families. "

"...Then what if I accidentally beat him to death."

"Then you have no choice but to marry him." Yu Xuekun said with a smile, "Otherwise I can't think of a second way to get you - the same goes for Chiba, just take it easy."

Hesta looked away, "... Anyway, I have nothing to do with Ding Jiali."

"Okay," Yu Xuekun started writing on the paper and read as he wrote, "'The ambiguous period... failed to... enter a formal relationship'."

Hesta felt a chill.

"I can't live in that home anymore. I will move out as soon as Mrs. Katja's affairs make progress," Hesta said softly. "I can't do anything there. I feel like my brain is buzzing every day when I come in." ’s... The mid-term exam will be in a few weeks, and I want to find a fixed place where I can review, preferably not far from school, so I can go there on weekends to kill time... Do you have any recommendations?"

"Your school library?"

"It's an option, but the position I like is often taken up," Hesta said softly, "I hope to have a relatively 'fixed' position——"

"Oh, then you can go to the commercial study room." Yu Xuekun opened a drawer and took out a card, "This is where I go from time to time. If you have a particularly strong need for a 'fixed location', you can directly subscribe to a monthly subscription. "

Hesta took the card and said, "Thanks."

"By the way, did Yugali tell you?" Yu Xuekun didn't look up, "She got a new job."

Hesta was startled, "...when did it happen?"

"Last week."

"She... didn't tell me anything."

"She said that there is still a one-month probationary period, which is not yet safe. She wanted to tell you after she officially gets the position... But I advised her to tell you," Yu Xuekun looked at her, "You didn't realize it either. Any clues?"

Hesta blinked blankly.

"She seemed to have taken the initiative to ask you to go hiking with you last Saturday, right?" Yu Xuekun said.

"what……"

Hesta sighed softly, and then realized that this matter was indeed unusual. Compared to Yugali's previous almost masochistic work style and pace of life, suddenly taking the initiative to join weekend mountain climbing activities is really a big change...

But Hesta didn't think much about it before. The rather unexpected feeling flashed past, and was immediately suppressed by the thought that "Eugali must have suddenly thought about it". "You are indeed in love, right?" Yu Xuekun narrowed his eyes slightly, "You have never been so indifferent to your friends before."

"Stop talking nonsense," Hesta said softly, "What kind of job is it, okay?"

"It's very good. There is a cross-region company that is anxious to have an on-site translator who is proficient in the third district language. By coincidence, the job description submitted by the head office requires that the native speaker of the third district must be a native speaker. It just so happens that Yugali's current status is in Over there, she also has strong language skills, and she got into the final interview immediately." Yu Xuekun replied, "The salary during the probation period is 900 rubles. If she can become a full-time employee, it will be 4,600 rupees after that, with a salary of 15 per year, with a year-end bonus and various other benefits. Subsidies."

"...That's great!"

"Yes," Yu Xuekun said softly, "She actually couldn't bear to say anything."

……

When it was nearly three o'clock, Hesta stood up. Before going out, she couldn't help but turn around and asked, "When will you be willing to talk to me normally?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"I've already apologized," Hesta sighed. "The last assessment was that I was wrong and shouldn't have made my own decisions. I won't do it again."

Yu Xuekun raised his chin slightly, "Do you think you still have credibility with me? If you want me to trust you again, wait until the next evaluation is over."

"Okay." Hesta waved his hand, "See you next week!"

The door closed from the outside, and Yu Xuekun laughed.

……

After leaving the consultation room, Hesta went alone to the study room introduced by Yu Xuekun. She opened the envelope Qianye brought, used the envelope to cover the card inside, and quickly glanced at the information on it: it was a series of unfamiliar mercury needle numbers and corresponding passwords.

——This is exactly what Miss Chiba asked for when she called her last time.

Hesta calmly put it back into the envelope and put it into her pocket.

Along the way, Hesta was lost in thought about things related to Ksenia, and she suddenly felt that she had become a little strange. She remembered that she had gone to inquire about the graduate student dormitory two days ago. Everything seemed so ridiculous - were you really going to approach a stranger you liked in this way?

She tried to find the starting point of everything. It all seemed to start from the night when she talked with Ding Yuqing about her parents' love.

That night was a break. Before that, her good impression of Ksenia drove her to do many bold things and say many bold words. After that, she suddenly realized what she was doing. Then everything became different.

In front of the glass display window of a large shopping mall, Hesta slowly stopped. There are three rows of TV sets of different sizes in the window, showing synchronized pictures - the waves crashing on the seaside at night, revealing the rugged coastline, and the lone moon hanging low on the sea, like an eye in the night sky.

With the cold wind blowing on her face, Hesta thought about Ksenia and everything about her... She suddenly felt as if she had broken away a little from her previous enthusiasm. Ksenia's image and characteristics were constantly shattered and reconstructed in her mind, and Hesta once again elevated herself to the position of a third person. She looked at herself, and the obscure hopes and desires in the past were like rocks after low tide, clearly showing their ruggedness and absurdity.

It's really strange how I let myself be affected to this extent by a stranger I only knew for a short time.

Yes... Hesta thought, people should stay with reason and never let themselves deviate in any direction like Ding Yuqing said.
